Abstract: In this paper, we study the ideal structure of reduced C∗-algebras Cr∗(G) associated to 'etale groupoids G. In particular, we characterize when there is a one-to-one correspondence between the closed, two-sided ideals in Cr∗(G) and the open invariant subsets of the unit space G(0) of G. As a consequence, we show that if G is an inner exact, essentially principal, ample groupoid, then Cr∗(G) is (strongly) purely infinite if and only if every non-zero projection in C0(G(0)) is properly infinite in Cr∗(G). We also establish a sufficient condition on the ample groupoid G that ensures pure infiniteness of Cr∗(G) in terms of paradoxicality of compact open subsets of the unit space G(0). Finally, we introduce the type semigroup for ample groupoids and also obtain a dichotomy result: Let G be an ample groupoid with compact unit space which is minimal and topologically principal. If the type semigroup is almost unperforated, then Cr∗(G) is a simple C∗-algebra which is either stably finite or strongly purely infinite.
